    E34 Baker and his journey through sobriety

    TRIGGER WARNING:  This episode talks about extensive  illicit drug use, sexual assault, and overdose.

    Baker is a recovering addict that has been relocated to the west coast in an effort to find sobriety and happiness.  As some of us may know this is a hard journey and if any of you are will I encourage you to take a moment and help a fellow survivor out by donating a couple bucks to his CashApp $Bakedry23

    If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction remember there is help.  Search for local resources in your area or consider calling the SAMHSA Hotline:
    1-800-662-4357
